Me too. If I get the chance.
As a contractor I either have to be "whiter than white" (which is why I follow the M$ way whenever possible) or have to adhere to local convention, regardless of how silly it might be

"CONSIDER using plural namespace names where appropriate."
Never pluralize.
|
|
|
|
|
|
That's a rule for database tables 
|
|
|
|
|
|
And it's wrong, well, at least when it comes to standards.
The ISO standard says Pluralize.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Joint Technical Committee (ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology, Subcommittee SC 32) that develops the SQL Standard has specified that one should follow ISO/IEC_11179[^] for naming. Which states Singular for Columns and Plural for Tables.
The point of following standards, even if you don't like the aesthetics, is (amongst others) to minimize ambiguity.
The concept behind it is as simple as it gets. A row is singular. A collection of rows is plural.
So reason one in your link is just conceptually wrong. Yes, an applebag can contain apples but you don't name the bag "Apple", you name it "Bag".
The content that you search are Apples.
But I guess that's why you see so many tables following the pattern "tblCustomer". 
And the rest is just opinions.
As far as I'm concerned you can do as you want. But if you choose one way, you should stick to it. That's much more important

Since a solution can contain projects directly related to an app, as well as commonly shared projects, I use the following. Note that not all are needed:
** For the app itself
Company.Project.Core
Company.Project.DAL
Company.Project.BL
Company.Project.Entities
Company.Project.Shared
Company.Project.Tools
Company.Project.UI.WPF.Controls
Company.Project.UI.WPF.Desktop
Company.Project.UI.WPF.Phone
Company.Project.UI.WPF.Tablet
Company.Project.UI.Web.MVC
** Projects shared by many apps
Company.WPF.Controls
Company.WPF.Entities
Company.WPF.Themes
Company.WPF.Utilites
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

Since the source code for our projects is proprietary, we omit the company identification from the namespace name.
For .NET, our namespaces are Assembly{.Package} where Assembly is the assembly name and the {.Package} suffix is only used where an assembly contains more than one significant body of code.
For C++ we usually just use the global namespace. I did have one C++ project where a combination of namespace's and a templated base class really improved the readability of a pile of related classes.

Last time I needed a namespace, I happened to play a game. My new commander had just arrived at my base and yelled "Forces of chaos, bow to me!" So my new namespace became FoC, which is very accurate for most software projects.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."
If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

Sander Rossel wrote: which clearly isn't the case at this time
I worked for a company that did something similar. They also had code that carried over from the last company. What happened was the dev team split from the web team into two separate companies. So they kept all their code. They ended up with two namespaces.
Not that you're going to clone yourself in this case, but I'm just pointing out it's possible you'd want to have Sander.SomethingElse later on.

Well, I have a good friend who's first name is also Sander.
If we ever wrote software together we'd have Sander.Rossel and Sander.HisLastName or maybe Sander.JointForces

Do dyslexics like their puns in dentists?

That's just backwards... I like my puns dented.
Or is it like flammable/inflammable, where they're the same thing, and the only way to reverse it is to make it non-dented?
And on that note, if something can be dented, can it also be prefected? No, that's not a typo... How about beeblebroxed? slartibartfasted?
Man, I have too much free time...

Granted, It's Your Turn
=======================
Robert Effortless Lee was the South's best general. But more than his military acumen or strategic sagacity, he prided himself on his striking resemblance to Martin Sheen.
Robert effortlessly swung himself down from off his stately steed and marched wearily but resolutely up the courthouse steps. He warily crossed the threshold and was immediately met by a slightly disheveled man who stepped forward, extended his hand and greeting, and said, "Robert!"
Effortlessly, the host flipped open a box of cigars and offered his illustrious guest a stogie. Robert...

Awesome, got a grand sons birthday coming up.
New version: WinHeist Version 2.1.1 new web site.
I know the voices in my head are not real but damn they come up with some good ideas!

Not a new idea but the first time it has been commercialized. I recall my grandfather pontificating about this when I were a nipper and lego had just arrived in the UK. And didn't James May build a e lego house a few years back?
Still, about bloody time, really. Going to buy me some land and build me a lego cabin.
